I see it as the Storm won the Grand Finals, but didn't win the premierships.
This.
Nothing can take away the feeling of winning one.

I actually agree with this. Who the *(&^ cares what Bellamy and the Storm think about whether they are still the rightful premiers or not. The reality is, if they were not knowingly involved in the rorting (that is the coaching staff and players) of course they are still going to regard themselves as having won them.
For everyone else, they will adopt the attitude that they cheated, received an unfair advantage and therefore the results are tainted.
The fact still remains, even with cheating the cap on a fairly large scale they could only win 2 out of 4.
We got this..........:sarcasm:
With the greatest respect, they were simply padding out a quote that Craig Bellamy made on the night. If he doesn't make it, accepts the award gracefully, says thank you and walks off, we have no story.
Don't play the victim card too heavily, the same paper has a story asking whether Billy Slater is the greatest of all-time and simply leads with the 2007/09 stuff because your coach brought it up.
I think the media coverage of the Storm last night was generally very positive, across the board.
f**k man you just jinxed us.
Yeah it's f**king bullshit.
They might have worked hard but they won all those games because they had better players than everyone else. And they had better players because they cheated.
It's the same story this year - they have better players at key positions which allows the rest of the team still do the job.
It's all about the quality of your squad and especially the quality of your spine; this year they had 3 of the top 5 players for Dally M points. So even though they lost a lot of players since last year they were still able to keep the ones that matter. They should have been forced to keep an overpaid Inglis and lose one of their essential spine players. Then see how good they go.
Just checked the record books - Melb have 1, Manly have a few, St Merge have 1 and yep, souths have the BIG20
to lose the premierships that they had 'won' in the way they did would be devastating.
but does bellamy need to keep bringing it up?
what theyve done this year is commendable.
though i hate watching the storm play, i cant stand their wrestling.
and so i hope they dont win
(Starting with sunday, lol)
Yeah, I'm sure
jealous much?
Watch this space...they're coming
In time their legacy will be that they cheated and were stripped of titles. Who cares what the players think? History will show they've got one Minor Premiership and one Premiership. Potentially a Premiership in a few weeks.
No, that's what will be in the history books...their 'legacy' has changed the face of the NRL, even though some won't own up to it.
